Mepilex® Border Lite - Thin, Self-Adhesive

Mepilex^® Border Lite is a thin all-in-one foam dressing for low-exuding wounds. You can use it for chronic wounds and acute secondary healing wounds such as postoperative incisions, traumatic wounds, or sutured wounds.

The low-profile design is conformable, making it an effective wound dressing for difficult-to-dress areas such as feet and toes, hands and fingers.

The design includes Safetac^® – the original less-pain contact layer with silicone adhesion. It's designed to mould softly to skin without sticking to the moist wound ¹ – so you can remove it easily without damaging the skin ^2 3. That means less pain for your patients ⁴. You can reposition it with minimal loss of adhesion. Your patients can wear it in the shower.

• Thin and conformable to dress wounds on feet and toes, hands and fingers
• Discrete so your patients can get on with normal life
• Dressings with Safetac minimise pain and trauma at dressing changes ^{1 2 3 4 5}
